    Harvey Weinstein was found guilty on two out of the five charges against him. He was acquitted of the more serious charges — predatory sexual assault — which carried a life sentence.

    It’s been more than two years since the allegations against Weinstein first came out and ignited the #MeToo movement.

    Since then, allegations of sexual assault and harassment have poured out, and the #MeToo movement has brought down at least 200 powerful men.
